How to backup calendars
It is recommended that you use one of Apple's supported methods for backing up your device. You can also manually backup your calendars for safe keeping in case they are deleted accidentally or your device is lost or damaged.
The method of backup described here uses iTunes File Sharing, which allows you to share files between the Choiceworks Calendar App and your computer by connecting your device to iTunes.
You can also share calendars by email and send them to yourself, which is a convenient way to backup your calendars if:
You only have a few calendars you want to backup
Do not have access to a computer and iTunes
1. Open Sharing Menu
Open the calendar you wish to backup by selecting it from the apps main screen.
Tap on the Sharing icon near the top right to open the sharing menu.
Tap on the "Share calendar using iTunes" option to generate a backup file. The file will be saved to your device and will be downloaded in the subsequent steps.
Repeat this step for each calendar that you want to backup.
2. Connect your device to iTunes
Connect your device to your computer and launch iTunes.
Select your device in the iTunes. Get help if you can't find it.
Click Apps in the list on the left and scroll down to the bottom to view the "File Sharing" section.
Locate Choiceworks Calendar in the list of apps in the File Sharing list
From here you can select the calendar file that you want to download to your computer. Once copied, you can put them somewhere for safe keeping.
3. Restoring from backup files
If you need to restore any calendars from your backup file, use the File Sharing screen in iTunes (see Step 2 above) to "Add" the file(s) to your device.
Once the files are all transferred to your device, open the Choiceworks Calendar app and launch the "Import Calendars" menu from the settings panel. From here you can tap to import the calendars using the files you just transferred.
